A motor vehicle is controlled using a vehicle-external mobile terminal. A communication connection is established using a first transmission/reception device of the motor vehicle and second transmission/reception device of the mobile terminal. A distance and/or relative position of the mobile terminal in relation to the motor vehicle is ascertained by evaluating a radio signal transmitted via the communication connection. Clearance data is generated using a control circuit of the motor vehicle or of the mobile terminal based on the ascertained distance and/or the ascertained relative position. The clearance data indicates that a predetermined control command can be transmitted from the mobile terminal to the motor vehicle and/or is accepted from the mobile terminal by the motor vehicle. The predetermined control command is transmitted using the communication connection when the clearance data are available in the mobile terminal and a predetermined trigger condition for the respective control command is satisfied.
